Car delivery/collection driver pay?
Discussion
The guy that delivered my company car from Cardiff to Scotland told me that he was paid per mile covered. I can't remember the rate he said he was paid, but I'm pretty sure it was no more than £2 per mile. He got paid no accomodation costs, and would have to sleep in the car in a layby.

400 miles in a few hours? And also does £800 - fuel - expenses etc equal £800?
OP- are we talking on a recovery truck here or just driving the car?
I know people that do it for a living there are very little expenses and how slow do you drive?OP- are we talking on a recovery truck here or just driving the car?
And how slow do I drive? slower than 134mph average.

Your expenses would be accommodation unless you sleep in a car all night and do without a toilet and washing facilities.

400 miles at 25MPG is 16 gallons. Small expense? no, £100. And that's just fuel. You've got to feed yourself, sleep, somehow get back to base etc etc.
And how slow do I drive? slower than 134mph average.
Sorry where in Scotland is this and which specific car is it that does 25mpg on the motorway? And how slow do I drive? slower than 134mph average.

Anyway...
There are better jobs for the money my friend does it because he was desperate at the time I haven't seen him for a few months last time I did he hated it.
On the flip side one of the drivers we employed at the VW dealership I worked at was retired and came back to do the job and loved the freedom.
The bloke that delivered my Z4 was a retired salesman he said he enjoyed it as a top up to his pension.

I appreciate it is not going to be highly paid but at the moment it is better than my savings getting lower and lower every month.
So, by you all saying Min Wage, are you telling me they pay per hour and not by mileage?
Al - pinged a mail out to someone who I know that does this. Have also asked if he has any contacts local to you.So, by you all saying Min Wage, are you telling me they pay per hour and not by mileage?
